(1)

(2)

(4)
haTera mUlya nirupaNa, naya-bhakti prakAzana

(5)
he jana re, saba eto mane bojhay uthe
ei premera uddeza, eka sAdhu upadeza,
sudhA-maya harinAma-rUpa su-sandeza,

(1) O brothers! Lord NityAnanda is present in the market place of the Holy Name!
Whoever is coming to see Him, please run quickly! These two greatly sinful rascals
JagAi and MAdhAi have looted the marketplace and taken all the goods!

(2) There you will find the partners in ownership, zrI Advaita AcArya and SanAtana
Goswami. The storekeeper is the expert zrI GadAdhara PaNDita.

(3) The watchmen are HaridAsa ThAkura and others. SaJjaya and zrIdhara are
managers, while Kezava BhAratI and VidyA VAcaspati are brokers. KRSNadAsa and
others are the servants. zrIvAsa PaNDita is the treasurer, and KedaranAtha
Bhaktivinoda is appropriately the sweeper.

(4) The cost of the goods in the Marketplace is the nine processes of devotional
service, and the currency to be traded is divine love, the topmost essence of
everything. There is no restriction for purchasing these goods, for customers who
have only a little wealth, as well as those who have much wealth, are considered
equal here.

(5) O people! All of you just load up with as much goods as you like - there is no
shortage. This is good advice for attaining love of God. The auspicious news of
this marketplace comes in the form of Holy Name of Lord Hari, which is luscious
with transcendental nectar. While awaiting yourselves of this benediction, let
there be no malice or favoritism. Let everyone, whoever they may be, eat from the
same plate.
